purduewx80 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Pretty bummed to be missing out on the absurd rates at home. Hunkered down at a hotel by work so as not to experience the shitshow that will be every highway in the area at 4 AM tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuteirishgirl25 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Finally turned over to heavy snow in Cincinnati Ohio, If not for the six hours of sleet, We probably would’ve got close to 12 inches of snow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Puking snow again. Mother Nature do your thang, This storm is going in my top 5. Winds are cranking again, right around 25-30MPH. Plows have been told to retreat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Toro99 said: Hey Stebo, I know you’ve had some opinions on DTW over the years, what would you have done for the GRR forecast area? It’s seems crazy to me (just a lurker mind you) that based on 24 hr trends and current guidance that most if not all of their advisory counties should have been upgraded to warning. Even using a conservative 18:1 slr (their number per afd) and avg. qpf of around 0.35-0.40 for the whole area, you come out with snowfall and event duration that would seem to warrant the upgrade? I think they finally got the warning right as it is now, but I would have put the southeast 3 counties in when they originally issued the WAA.

SchaumburgStormer Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Shit isn’t good out here in the stix. 19” base of powder that had plenty of time to dry out with -20 dews is blowing like crazy. Snagged this from a Facebook group, but it’s a fair representation of our east/west roads. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Early days but so far flake size is a bit underwhelming. Still time for that to change but given this is a quick hitter going to need things to ramp up in the next 1.5-2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owensnow Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 SEMI and SW Ontario Got to be wind gust here topping 35 right now. Snow ratios are insane. It’s pure arctic snow. went out with the plough once already on the driveway and literally made no difference. almost seems like 2 inch per hour rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Can’t take the ween out of a weenie. Another walk incoming. Rural Champaign is getting dumped on, sorry to bombard but I’m amped. This storm is so fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlew Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Sitting just a few miles east of the Alek-MDW death band, “only” up to ~6” total as of 8 pm. Still inch per hour since 5. Looking out my window, traffic on the Stevenson is the 20 mph, driving with flashers-on type of scenario right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE, IL 813 PM CST MON FEB 15 2021 UPDATE 812 PM CST NOT SURE WHAT'S LEFT TO BE SAID THAT HASN'T ALREADY, BUT OUR REMARKABLE SNOWSTORM (CONSIDERING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ARCTIC AIRMASS IN PLACE) IS ESSENTIALLY HEADING INTO ITS PEAK AT THIS TIME, WITH SNOWFALL RATES MAXIMIZING HERE PROBABLY THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT TO 2 AM. THE AXIS OF STEADIEST SNOWFALL HAS SET UP SHOP ROUGHLY EAST OF A MENDOTA TO MCHENRY LINE. LAKE ENHANCEMENT IS AND HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A FEW HOURS WITH STRONG CONFLUENCE NOTED WITH BUOYS SHOWING NORTHEAST WINDS GUSTING TO 30-35 MPH, WITH NORTHWESTERLIES JUST INLAND. THE COOPERATIVE OBSERVER NEAR MIDWAY RECENTLY REPORTED AN EXCEPTIONAL 2.9 INCHES OF SNOW IN JUST ABOUT 100 MINUTES. THINK THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL AT THIS POINT GIVEN RADAR TRENDS THAT THE JACKPOT AREA FOR THIS EVENT WILL PROBABLY BE 2-3 MILES EITHER SIDE OF A ROUGHLY WINNETKA/EVANSTON TO MIDWAY LINE. WHEN ALL IS SAID AN DONE (AFTER LINGERING LAKE EFFECT DIMINISHES LATER TOMORROW AFTERNOON), IMAGE WE'LL SEE A HANDFUL OF SNOWFALL REPORTS PUSHING 20 INCHES IN THIS CORRIDOR. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Traffic Control Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Still snowing here 1hr east of STL! Most of the flakes are small and tiny now, and the amount is clearly weening off, but it is still super incredibly windy! I plan on going out as the sun hits tomorrow via foot and checking to see how the drifts are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
